Bifrost, according to Norse mythology, is a glowing rainbow bridge that connects Midgard and Asgard. The first element of Bifrost suggests the fleeting nature of the rainbow. Similarly, our Bifrost fest is the shimmering path that suggests a medium to connect the ever-growing and fleeting, multiple facets of commerce. It opens the doors of opportunity to industry and commerce, the engines of change.
This year, St. Joseph’s Boys’ High School conducted the 6th edition of the International commerce fest Bifrost in a hybrid module - an amalgamation of both the offline and online platforms on 21, 22 and 23 July 2022.
